Bible Scriptures

Roaming around the internet, I came across Joyce Meyer's website and one thing caught my mind: the 30-30 challenge. It is a challenge to study and meditate on the word of God for thirty minutes every day for the next thirty days. I decided to go with the challenge and study God's word everyday morning before doing anything else. My intention is to increase my faith by the help of the Holy Spirit and get to have a more fulfilling personal relationship with God. I realise that I haven't been the most faithful Christian to God's word and this has been worrying me. For this reason I accepted the challenge and starting today, 25 th March 2014, I will meditate on God's words and listen to Him. My wish is to live a more meaningful life serving Almighty God, the creator of the universe, in the best way possible. I have a few resolutions I have made that I intend to follow through. My 30-30 challenge starts this day and I pray that God guides me through.

Don't let anything worry you or cause you pain. You aren't going to be young very long.                                                                                                                 Ecclesiastes 11:10

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and there is no truth in us. But if we confess our sins to God, He will keep His promise and do what is right. He will forgive us our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoing.- 1 John 8,9

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, Which can never be shaken, never be moved. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people now and forever. The wicked will not always rule over the land of the righteous; If they did, the righteous themselves might do evil.                                                                                                                     ...

In the book of Mathew, Jesus taught his disciples how to pray. He warned them against behaving like the hypocrites who love praying in open places and saying long prayers so that people would see them. He told them that saying long prayers like the pagans is not necessarily because God, our Heavenly Father already knows what we are going to pray or ask for even before we start praying. This way Jesus taught his disciples to be humble in their prayers. There is no need for one to let everybody know that he is praying and attract attention. A simple prayer, like the Lord's Prayer that he taught them was enough. The Lord's Prayer is very complete and exhaustive on its own. It gives praise to God, the Creator of the universe as well as offering thanksgiving for all His providence. It is a prayer that Christians should try to pray often in addition to any other requests they may have. " Our Father who art in Heaven,    Hallowed be thy name,    Thy kingdom come, ...
